Ollie’s just got in their 128 oz bottles of 10%. This year’s price is $3.99/gallon. I’m in northeast Alabama.
Best Places to Buy Liquid Chlorine

In Indiana, we haven't opened our pool yet, but after a discussion last weekend with someone from a pool company, I'm now concerned with upcoming chlorine shortages this year. Luckily, Rural King is already stocked with 10%. A 4-gallon box is $11.99 with date codes just a couple of weeks old. Stocking up early just in case...
Skippy said Walmart's Pool Essentials 10% is back locally, at $3.74 a gallon.

In Minnesota I go to Fleet Farm. They sell 4 gallons (four 1 gallon jugs) for $16 and it is 12.5%. It works great.
They have pallets of it inside every year.

Farm Store! <slaps forehead> of course.... I need to check locally and see what they offer. Just for investigative info of course...I only use liquid very occasionally since we have a SWG. 
Just looked at Fleet Farm's homepage. @Bradenwb make sure you print out the coupon for 12% discount. GREAT PRICE!!

I just noticed that HEB Bravo bleach is 7.5% now. $3.99 not great, but always fresh. HD has been out at my store for 3 or 4 weeks.

yuh, AFAIK HomeDepot in central Texas finally stopped doing their >4xcase web deal(the web site 4xcase deal at 9-8.99 each case for 3 gallons 10%)(nice while it lasted) back to that bourgeois 3gallon/[email protected]$ for 10%[HDX]
(my local is out today, having to cruise down a few exits to the next HD with stock)
Lowes in SATX is 9.98 for 2gallon/case (always stale according to date code )or not in stock anyway[kemtek]
[costco has only ever been 6% used to do them before I realized the other boxes had 10%]
[walmart always seems to have different %s]
[I'll try to eyeball HEB, but I never go there]

Maybe it should be consolidated.
This is my post on that thread
I was in Home Depot today and strolled down the Pool Supply aisle. HD now offers a new liquid chlorine package. It is a box of 4 individual 1 gal jugs for $16 (before sales tax) - so $4 per gallon. It is still 10% so that is .313/oz per Pool Math on bleach price calculation. Also the date code was 2021 60 so just 2 weeks old. They had stacks of it (all inside). There was another person there buying about 4 cases (16 gals). I told him about TFP forum as well.
In my area this is same unit price (per Pool Math bleach cost calculation) for a 4 gallon case at Leslies ($20 for 12.5%) but Pinch A Penny is still slightly cheaper at $8 for a single 2.5gal jug at 10% is 0.246/oz
There was a sign posted over the pucks shelf that they were limiting the purchase of trichlor pucks to 2 bags however there was no limit on the liquid chlorine
Hope this helps those in Houston area.
Liquid Chlorine Price and Supply
Is this regular liquid pool chlorine? We are still waiting on a plumber to check out the plumbing post freeze and are running into supply issues. Yep.

Menards has 12.5 at less than $4/gallon, same as last year. 418 gallons in stock as if now so it doesn't seem supply will be a problem this summer.

Ladner's Pools in Harahan LA and also on the Northshore (both New Orleans area) appx. $5.00/gallon 12.5%
I've always felt that the convenience of the disposable one gallon jugs in a case is worth spending a little bit extra for Leslie's. I tried the two and a half gallon jug from pinch a Penny and I was afraid I was going to mess up the carpet in my car taking them back to get refilled. Plus pinch a Penny's about 2 mi further from my neighborhood in Katy, Texas.There seems to be 2 threads on Liquid Chlorine.

Yep, looks like HD switched from HTX to Pool Essentials (same as Walmart sells). The price of bleach has risen! Picked up two 4 packs, 2021, day 57. Lowes also carries Pool Essentials (a few cents higher than HD).

Me too. I had been thinking about it for a while but I think what got me to finally pull the trigger was the panic buying of all the bleach and chlorine last year at the start of the pandemic.
Just curious...I've tried the liquid Chlorine here in Houston/Katy area like you and during the summer it just seems I can't maintain proper levels. So for the past few years I've used liquid during winter and spring and tablets rest of the year. I prefer to switch full time to liquid chlorine, so curious ...to maintain proper levels during the hot summers in Houston... is this pouring like a half gallon or a gallon every day to maintain levels? This seems like a hassle, costly and I'm sure would also damage a few items of clothing...LOL. Just curious how you routine looks like in the summer months.
